ReadyNAS 628
Hi, There is an opportunity to acquire a ReadyNAS 628 for a good price but I was wondering if the platform is more or less dead and if it is worth the investment. It is a powerful unit and it should...
Makes sense. In all fairness, for most of the older units it is not really easy to port ReadyNAS OS 6 due to hardware considerations. For x86_64 based units it was possible and Netgear did not restrict it if you were willing to have a go at it. OS6 worked really fine in my Ultra2. As for processing power, I guess a Xeon-D is needed for supporting multiple 10g interfaces. Personally I wouldn't want to run anything else in a NAS, I can run Owncloud in a VM with the latest and greatest software with the NAS as a backend feeding raw storage to the hypervisor (whichever hypervisor you like, why limit yourself?).
